“So for everybody who allows themselves to be separated from me because I said "African" instead of "Nubian" or "Black" or "Kemet" or "original" or "Israelite," don't be so foolish. I say "African" because the continent of Africa is the land from which we all originate. It is the word that we are most familiar with right now.” SaidBlackLandRight NowOriginalsFoolishFamiliarContinents Author:Sister Souljah
“This Law -- whether Conscious or Unconscious --predestines nothing and no one. It exists from and in Eternity, truly, for it is ETERNITY itself; and as such, since no act can be co-equal with eternity, it cannot be said to act, for it is ACTION itself...Karma creates nothing, nor does it design. It is man who plans and creates causes, and Karmic law adjusts the effects; which adjustment is not an act, but universal harmony, tending ever to resume its original position.” MenDoeSaidActionLawCausesPlansEffectsDesignPositionEqualConsciousUniversalEternityHarmonyOriginalsKarmaUnconsciousAdjustmentResumes Author:H.

“Hypocrites act by virtue.... They frame many counterfeits of her, with which they make an ostentatious parade, in all public assemblies, and processions; but the original of what they counterfeit, and which may indeed be said to have fallen from heaven, they produce so seldom, that it is cankered by the rust of sloth, and useless from non-application.” MaySaidHeavenVirtueProduceOriginalsUselessFallenHypocrisyApplicationHypocriteAssemblyParadesSlothRustCounterfeitProcessionOstentatious Book:Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
“I viewed the station as a place, a terrain where I could put a new architecture in place. The station was, of course, an historic monument, but it does not deserve all the respect given it when it is said it is perfect, original and coherent expression of a past that we must revere. Orsay is basically a box.” DoeSaidPastCoursesGivenPerfectExpressionDeserveOriginalsBoxesArchitectureStationsHistoricMonumentTerrain Author:Gae Aulenti
